My 20 month old does the whole stiff body trick whenever I try to get him in. I usually ask if he wants to help buckle the seat belt and that gets his attention. I let him do it while subtly buckling it myself. Or I offer him a snack. Hope this helps!

See if he'll climb in by himself. Kids love doing things by themselves and he might like the challenge. My daughter would get mad when I pt her in because she wanted to do it, even when it was really hard for her. Now she's 2 1/2 and can climb right up no problem.

There are a couple of tricks I use to convince my son. If he stiffens up try tickling, maybe get a cd that he likes to play in the car and it only goes on once they are buckled up or you can try to get them to help with the buckles. Hths!

Make it fun. Anything like this they fight you over make it fun. Allow him to being his favorite toy, cant hold it til he is buckeld in his seat. Or make it a game... My son loves to climb in and I say im gonna getcha. He giggles and climbs in. Tickling under an arm each strap tyou put on. Distraction. The less of a power struggle the less he will fight you.

I went through this with my car seat and stroller. When you have time tell her you want to show her how to buckle her car seat. Bring it inside and let her climb in making a game out if it. I put their favorite toy in and showed them how to buckle it in. This helped a lot with both of my girls. Then tell her she did a great job, make it really fun, and I give them a tic tac as a reward. I randomly do this too when they're being good in the stroller.

Put your hand at the base of his crotch so he can't slide down. Then while your hand is there try and squeeze the straps around him quick. My son has done this several times. The other thing that works is distracting him with my car keys or something he would want. They are very strong, I know the feeling of being exhausted after just getting him in a carseat.
